Nanosystems Engineers

01

Provide scientific or technical guidance or expertise to scientists, engineers, technologists, technicians, or others, using knowledge of chemical, analytical, or biological processes as applied to micro and nanoscale systems.

02

Supervise technologists or technicians engaged in nanotechnology research or production.

03

Conduct research related to a range of nanotechnology topics, such as packaging, heat transfer, fluorescence detection, nanoparticle dispersion, hybrid systems, liquid systems, nanocomposites, nanofabrication, optoelectronics, or nanolithography.

04

Synthesize, process, or characterize nanomaterials, using advanced tools or techniques.

05

Prepare reports, deliver presentations, or participate in program review activities to communicate engineering results or recommendations.

06

Design or conduct tests of new nanotechnology products, processes, or systems.

07

Create designs or prototypes for nanosystem applications, such as biomedical delivery systems or atomic force microscopes.

08

Write proposals to secure external funding or to partner with other companies.

09

Generate high-resolution images or measure force-distance curves, using techniques such as atomic force microscopy.

10

Develop processes or identify equipment needed for pilot or commercial nanoscale scale production.

11

Provide technical guidance or support to customers on topics such as nanosystem start-up, maintenance, or use.
